Featured Testimonials
You all have made the experience of learning not so daunting and so accessible for me. I found the modules informative and up to date with the industry as well as the Tutors amazing in responding to questions concerns and always ready and able to give feedback. I appreciate how quickly the practices were marked after being submitted as it helped keep a flow going once I was doing the actual models and learning the procedures in the flesh and not just reading it. I loved the feedback where to improve and how to do it. It just made me able to perform the services better each time. I waited many years to finally start as a nail professional and I feel I have the tools I need thanks to TAOND to do what I have wanted successfully now!
I would recommend anyone looking into a career in the nail industry to look at TAOND as the perfect fit for any schedule and as well being very very helpful and well rounded going into the industry. Thanks so much!!

"First I would like to thank TAOND for creating such a detail oriented course, that is easily available. The staff are super helpful and very positive. My Mentor Brittany was extremely fast at replying whenever I had Questions and always gave both positive and constructive feedback so I could get the most out of each section of the course. Since you can work at your own pace and go on at any time of day there is no scheduling to stick to. Having now completed the Acrylic Mini Course I am more confident in my skills and look forward to my future in the nail industry. Keep up the good work."

Thank you again for such an awesome, and in depth course. It was great having the videos to learn from and reference to in case I was unsure of my steps. The course material was current and thorough and overall I really enjoyed the course. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for helping me accomplish my dream of becoming a Nail Technician. Anyone who is interested in taking an online nail course should take this one as I have every confidence they will love it, and succeed. Thanks again :)

With much gratitude I am proud to say that I hung my Academy of Nail Design certificate on the wall of my established nail studio today.
Having worked at my own pace while starting my business, working a full time job, raising a small son, and starting additional studies at a local college; it was close to two years in effort, but I can say it was well worth it! When I needed assistance, facilitators and admin staff were right there without hesitation ready to help. Material was well laid out, thought provoking and much more thorough than I would have expected from an online delivery.
My skills as a versatile nail technician have grown tremendously in product knowledge, application know-how, and client safety. Never has my work been so polished or appreciated.
As a professional in the business, and a former adult educator within Ontario's private education system, I can confidently and enthusiastically recommend The Academy of Nail Design’s program to anyone wishing to enter into this exciting career!

As a qualified but not practicing nail technician I had rediscovered my love of nails and nail art after quite a few years away from the table. I looked around locally, in rural Australia, for a refresher course and specifically a nail art course however there was nothing that ticked all the boxes. I was very excited when I found TAOND and discovered they had courses that suited me and I could do the work online, at a time that suited me. The staff were very helpful, replied to every inquiry and question I had very quickly by email and instilled complete confidence that I would learn in a supported, encouraging environment. And that is exactly what they delivered. The online video tutorials and modules got me up to speed in no time and the nail art course was challenging and pushed me to try and perfect techniques I would never normally have tried which is exactly what I wanted. While an online course always involves a level of self-motivation to get through, if you love nails, want to start or develop a career in nails then TAOND has everything you need. It is an amazing resource in the nail industry and I am so thankful to have found them.
Again, thank you so much for all your encouragement, support and for your wonderful program!
